	Because I can't resist flogging my own work:
http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Trade_map_summary

	I used the Far Trader rules (along with a few other data sets) to calculate out
all the trade for every work in charted space. The linked page provides an
overview. You can select your favorite sector, then look for the "Data File"
link in the right side bar:
http://wiki.travellerrpg.com/Spinward_Marches_Sector/data

	Trade values for every world in the sector, and by extension every world in
charted space.
